- Roman Anthony – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115/-150)As it relates to his home runs, Roman Anthony has been unlucky since the start of last season. His 15.2 HR per 600 plate appearances mark has been a fair amount lower than the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s version of Statcast-based Expected HR/600 at 27.7.Explain: xHR uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s home run ability more accurately than actual home runs can.
- Boston Red Sox – 2H MoneylineThe Boston Red Sox bullpen grades out as the best in the league, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.

- Jordan Walker – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-185)Jordan Walker hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (41.6% — 100th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting towards the league’s 7th-shallowest CF fences today.Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
